Phuket's newest and most-exciting gathering of yachts, boats and luxury brands will open its doors in just over a month's time, hosting on-water displays, wine, cocktail and champagne tastings, as well as vibrant parties both on yachts and on-land.

For industry professionals, the Thailand Yacht Forum will take place the day before the show (Feb 10) at Phuket Yacht Haven, providing an update of the regulation changes, as well as presenting insight into the region’s cruising grounds and growing infrastructure.

With less than five weeks until the inaugural event, the list of yachts and boating brands continues to grow. The cross section of new exhibitors demonstrates the global appeal of the show with the line-up including international brands, local Thai icons and a broad range of luxury boats for sale, charter yachts and lifestyle companies.

One of the most beautiful yachts to enter the line-up is M/Y Nanou, the classically-styled 32-metre Benetti presented by brokerage company Burgess Yachts. Nanou will form part of the 40 strong line-up of yachts, which includes the 51m charter yacht Phinisi S/Y Dunia Baru showcased by 37 South and the the MCY 70 joining the show thanks to Simpson Marine.
